65 – Unsecured Pact
“… this dessert. It was fantastic.”
“Yes Yes? what now… … ?”
“How the hell did they come up with this, and why were they with the students in such a secret place… … . You have to confide in me without any lies.”
After that incident, I couldn’t avoid Bennettrick’s one-on-one interview.
The interview was not limited to me.
Everyone present at the site went through an interview.
Sophia and Derke also couldn’t avoid meeting with the vice principal.
The reason was obvious. It was to uncover the whole story.
I was able to have a private meeting with Bennett in the last order. The individual interviews were conducted in a corner of Diora’s hideout, relying on the light of a lantern.
The interview time with her was brutal.
It was similar to a short, heavy interrogation.
The atmosphere felt heavier because of the soft lantern light.
ㅡWhy did you leave the break room during working hours?
—-Since I’ve already heard everything from Sophia, lies are useless.
—-Keep in mind that the level of punishment may vary depending on your answer.
Bennettrick maintained a consistent tone.
And he continued to ask questions.
Keep going until you get the answer you want.
Although I have experienced pressure interviews in the past,
It was the first time he had been openly questioned like this.
The high-pressure atmosphere caught my breath.
I was just thankful that violence and coercion were not accompanied.
“… That’s all I know.”
“You’ve been repeating the same things since before, but it’s better to say it right. Unless you want to add more to your sentence.”
Benedict consistently questioned everything without considering my position.
They must be trying to verify the truth of Sophia and I’s statements.
It was a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere, but
There was no reason for me to shrink.
There was no need to lie to avert a crisis.
No matter what anyone says, I am a clear victim.
I could never be the perpetrator.
The opponent was a dragon, but it was an unreasonable story.
If I were a dragon slayer, I wouldn’t know.
The incident that happened today was the same.
Even if I violated the rules by accident,
The fact that I am a victim has not changed.
“Huh, to think that all of this happened because of one dessert… … . He’s ugly, not like a 4th grader. It’s no different than the academy’s disgrace.”
As if all the circumstances of the case matched Sophia’s statement, Bennett could only sigh.
Her voice, which had been coercive and high-handed, was also broken.
“I’ll have to finish it when Diora wakes up later. The freshman who used the teleport in the first year topic earlier is also bothered… … .”
After answering all the questions, Bennett frowned and kept scratching his head. He looked stressed out, as if he was about to pull out a cigarette and smoke it.
It feels like seeing the face of a detective who is in charge of an unsolved case.
ㅡdalgrak… !
But what she held in her hand was not a cigarette like magic weed.
ㅡKoo-wook! filth, filth, filth… … .
What she held in her hand was a fork.
I took a picture of the leftover cake I ate earlier.
Yes, the mint chocolate chip cake I made.
“Haa, to think that the student council president is trying to keep this great thing to himself… … .”
Bennettrick is covering up the only evidence of the case.
I just ate one bite and passed out.
Now I eat it casually.
Did he even develop a tolerance?
Now it’s rather delicious, and it looks like it’s going to die.
It was to the point where all the dimples were forming on the face that had been cold and rigid.
‘Was it a dragon that could smile brightly like that?’
Bennettrick’s face, which had always looked cold, bloomed as if all the stress he had accumulated in the mint chocolate melted away.
Like a rose that blooms at the end of a stem with sharp thorns.
“I… Can I go down when it’s over? There is still a lot of work left to go and finish.”
“Don’t be funny. The most important question still remains.”
“yes? what is that?”
“This dessert… How the hell did you make it?”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
“Yes, the degree of perfection and the harmony of flavors are so excellent. Like… It’s closer to the feeling of bringing something that already existed. It feels like something that was never created by chance… … . Am I right?”
Bennettrick scooped up only the bluish-green mint cream from the cake with a fork, recalling the taste.
She was also a comrade with Sophia.
I fell in love with the true taste of mincho.
Even the body shakes while recalling the taste.
Anyway, it’s sharp like a gourmet.
I made it after the original dessert,
No matter how over-the-top it is, you’ll figure it out.
“…Why didn’t you say anything? You don’t want to tell me the recipe?”
“professor? Unfortunately, the recipe is a secret.”
“what? secret?”
“Yes, it is a forbidden food combination passed down from generation to generation where I live. Still, if you personally wish, I can provide it with Miss Sophia once a month.”
I may have seemed a bit cheeky, but
He refused to answer and threw a bait instead.
In other words, it was an attempt to negotiate.
If you want mint chocolate, I’ll be happy to make it, so please don’t make an issue of what happened today.
We can’t just leak the recipe for this terrifying dessert. I didn’t know what kind of chaos would come if weeds spread rampantly in this world.
Besides, in a way, it was the last secret weapon that humans could fight against dragons, so I didn’t want to tell them if possible. Didn’t your soul actually come out?
“Well, you seem to be misunderstanding something… ! I’m just asking because there are some dubious parts of Sofia’s answers!”
Bennett evasively uses Sophia as an excuse.
Really, well spoken words.
Actually, I came to like mincho?
I can tell just by looking at the blush that doesn’t suit her chic face.
“is that so? If that’s the case, I’d rather not make desserts like this from now on—”
“Oh, no… ! Don’t you mean that?! you can make it! I won’t let you!”
She, who had always been solemn in her voice, hurriedly trembled and defended the grassroots. Mincho is now a legal dessert in this place.
Oh, it’s not really legal.
Anyway, I feel like I have become an absolute person with asymmetrical power.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, yes! Instead, only me and Sophia, who know this, can provide it.”
“of course. So, are you turning a blind eye to what happened today?”
“Kuhm… ! well, yes From what I can see, you seem to be guilty of treating students as an employee… … .”
This is an acquittal. lived
long live mincho It’s an almost universal bargaining card.
Of course, in reality, it was also a possible negotiation because I was not guilty.
“Then can I really go down now?”
“Okay, you can go downstairs. Instead, I’ll stop by again tomorrow, so you’d better prepare something.”
“yes? tomorrow?”
“So, you asked for an extra budget for the break room?”
“Oh, that’s right. why is that all of a sudden… … .”
“Why? I will try to see your skills and determine if you are worth supporting.”
It’s a blessing for the phone, and things are solved smoothly.
I wasn’t expecting any budget issues.
Thank you so much for bringing this up in person.
“Are you sure?!”
“Don’t make a fuss about it. I still have to uncover the whole story of this case, and I still don’t fully trust you, the Balaur.”
“Oh, I see. Then, will it be a dessert with mint tomorrow too?! Just say the word!”
“What, what? Suddenly, that eager expression… … ?!”
They say that they support and invest in me, but of course they are full of motivation.
If you don’t believe me, just make me believe it.
Stop taking it with my own taste.
It seemed like there was nothing I couldn’t do if I showed off my skills like today.
I think I gained a lot of confidence by going through a lot of things in a short period of time.
“Just leave it to me! I will prove that the break room is worth investing in!”
“Ha, that’s why short-lived species… … . After all, it’s too simple, isn’t it?”
Even though Bennett puts on a disapproving expression, he smiles. The thought of falling into a gastronomic storm for two days in a row must have already made your heart flutter.
“… then you guys Is it possible to cook something simple other than dessert?”
“Yes? Cooking?”
“okay. Food with a combination of flavors that are rare in the world, like this mint chocolate.”
*
Bennettrick’s last words were quite unexpected.
I thought a mint dessert would be enough,
Do you want me to prepare a dish that is not a dessert?
It is also a combination food that is not common in the world, such as mint chocolate.
“Breeder brother-? What thoughts do you use to do that-?”
After the interview, the road to the academy.
I was walking side by side with Derke.
First of all, he waited for me even after the interview was over.
On the other hand, Sofia and Diora were still with Bennettrick. I’ll probably take care of things today.
“No big deal, I was thinking about what else to make tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry too much, Tetsuyong-! I’m sure oppa will do well!”
“Pufu, thank you for worrying about me. Derke than that? Did you really forget how to teleport?”
No matter how many times you walk, the mountain road never ends.
That’s why I wanted to borrow Derke’s power.
Climbing is also climbing when coming down.
My feet feel numb after walking all day.
I am tired of walking now.
“Uh-! Death Yong who forgot how he did it… !”
“What? So what did you do when you got here?”
“It was easily possible when I remembered the location of my brother who made a pact, yap-! But now… No matter how much I think about the place I want to go to, it’s impossible!”
“okay? Are you saying that it is possible only when you come to me?”
“I guess it’s like that! I want to be separated from my brother, but I can’t part with Death Yong-!”
Derke, who was going down the mountain road holding my hand, clings to my waist and smiles Betsy. With an expression that he never wanted to let go.
Looking at this kind of Derke, the corners of my mouth go up without even realizing it.
“… Oh right! Oppa, come to think of it, the contract I signed with Sofia sunbaenim… ! Death dragons that really came true?”
“yes? right, did you? Why is that all of a sudden?”
“Then, when I signed the contract with my senior, Dragon Heart… ! Did you get it right this time?!”
Derke reminds me of something I had forgotten about when I wanted to ask a question.
“uh? right. Come to think of it, it didn’t happen this time either… … ?”
It was a part of the situation that I hadn’t even thought of.
‘If it was Sophia’s tongue, not Dragon Heart, it would have crossed it slightly… … .’
pledge confirmation.
I shouted the command, wondering if the contract was not properly signed.
The oath success notification popped up earlier, but
I’m going to check it again out of some anxiety.
In addition, to check the existence of the contract,
He also intended to check Sophia’s abilities and perks.
ㅡPay!
As soon as I shout the command, a translucent hologram covers my field of vision.
